Section A: Overview of Release
A1. PCGenesis VerraDyne Print Queue Upgrade
A1.1. VerraDyne Print Queue Overview
The GaDOE is happy to announce a major upgrade of the PCGenesis Print. The DOE has purchased the
VerraDyne Print Manager for a cost of $25,000 to replace the existing PCGenesis print queue software.
The new VerraDyne Print Manager has much in common with the existing PCGenesis print queue
because the same company created both systems.
Features of the VerraDyne Print Manager
The VerraDyne Print Manager is designed to provide users with an easy to use print/e-mail manager for
use in the windows environment. Just like our existing PCGenesis print queue, it is designed to utilize
the Windows print queues and printer functions. Just like our existing PCGenesis print queue, it allows
the user to interact with other applications in the foreground, while a print job is running in the
background under Windows Local Services. Once a print file has been released it is passed to the
Windows print queue, and is ready for printing.
Unlike our existing PCGenesis print queue, the VerraDyne Print Manager stores its data in SQL Server
tables to which it connects using windows authentication. The VerraDyne Print Manager uses the
FREE version of Microsoft SQL Server.
Some of the features of the new VerraDyne Print Manager system include:
• The ability to view and e-mail the documents in PDF format
• The ability to e-mail reports to a specific user, or group of users
• The ability to print reports to a specific printer
• The ability to re-queue reports after printing or emailing
• The ability to archive reports to specific archive directories, based on individual users or file type
• The ability to view or requeue the archived files
• Full audit tracking of reports viewed and deleted by users
• The ability to search archived reports using specific parameters

Accessing the VerraDyne Print Manager
There are two ways to access the VerraDyne Print Manager. The user can select (Uqueue) from
a PCGenesis menu to enter the VerraDyne Print Manager, as shown below.
The user can also access the VerraDyne Print Manager from the desktop icon. From the user’s
workstation double-click the PCGVQUE icon:
.
The VerraDyne Print Queue Manager allows the user to delete and remove print files from the queue, to
display audit logs for PCGenesis reports, to e-mail PCGenesis reports to other users, and to permanently
archive PCGenesis reports to an archive directory. Right-click on the File Name to see the options
available, as shown below.

A1.2. VerraDyne Print Directories
The VerraDyne Print Queue manages PCGenesis report files differently than in the past. Before, all
PCGenesis reports were stored in the K:\SECOND\#nnnPRT directories. Now, the VerraDyne Print
Queue monitors two sets of print directories: The Spool Directory and the Print Directory.
The Spool Directory is where PCGenesis creates the reports:
• K:\SECOND\#DODPRT
The Print Directory is the directory where the Print Manager stores the reports in the print queue:
• For example, the Print Directory may be K:\UCTPRINT\#DODPRT
• The VerraDyne Print Queue will MOVE the PCG reports from the Spool Directory located
in K:\SECOND to the Print Directory located in K:\UCTPRINT
• If there is an existing print file with the same name as a new print file, the VerraDyne Print
Queue will rename the file and append a date/time stamp
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before, users would sometimes store personal spreadsheets, etc in their print
spool directory in K:\SECOND\#xxxPRT. (xxx is the three character PCGenesis user ID.) This causes
problems with the VerraDyne Print Spooler. Therefore, advise all PCGenesis users to not save any
miscellaneous files to the K:\SECOND\#xxxPRT directories. The print spool directories are used by
the system to temporarily contain PCGenesis reports created by the system and should be used for no
other purpose.
Print Directory: • Notice the print files will reside in UCTPRINT
• Notice the file name may be changed and the date/time stamp may be appended to the name

A1.9. Automatically Set Payroll Reports, Vendor Check Reports
and Monthly Financial Reports to ‘Requeue’
Successful printing of payroll, vendor check reports, and financial monthly reports is imperative to
PCGenesis. The old process created these reports with a disposition of ‘SCRATCH’ and
automatically deleted these reports from the print queue after printing. With the old system, if there was
a network hiccup and the reports were spooled but never printed for some reason, the reports couldn’t be
recovered.
An enhancement has been made to payroll reports, vendor check reports, and financial monthly reports
so that these reports are not automatically deleted from the print queue after being spooled to the printer.
Since it is very important to print these reports successfully, now these reports will be created in the
VerraDyne Print Queue with the disposition ‘REQUEUE’, allowing the reports to be spooled and
respooled numerous times, if necessary. All other PCGenesis reports will continue to be created with a
disposition of 'SCRATCH'.
It is possible for the user to change the disposition of any PCGenesis report to be what the user desires
by right-clicking on the disposition field for a report and selecting either SCRATCH, KEEP, or
REQUEUE.
To change the Disposition of a print file:
The disposition of a print file can be changed by right clicking on the disposition (Disp) field for the
print file and selecting the desired option.
Disposition, valid values are:
SCRATCH - After printing or emailing, the document entry will be removed from the print queue and
the file on the disk will be scratched.
KEEP - After printing or emailing, the document entry will be removed from the print queue. The
document on the disk will not be scratched.
REQUEUE - After printing or emailing, the document entry will remain in the print queue in HOLD
status and the file on the disk will be not be scratched. The entry status will be set back to HOLD after
printing or emailing.
NOTE: Even though the selected reports will be sent to the VerraDyne Print Manager with a
disposition of ‘REQUEUE’, the reports will only remain in the print queue for 30 days before being
permanently deleted. The VerraDyne Print Manager constantly cleans up old files and will delete files
from the print queue after 30 days regardless of the disposition of the file.

A1.10. New Printer Icons for Server/Workstation Desktop
Release 18.02.00 adds two new shortcuts in the K:\PCGIcon directory that can be copied to the server
desktop and workstation desktop. The PCGVADMIN icon brings up the VerraDyne Print Manager
administration module. The PCGVQUE icon brings up the Verra Dyne Print Queue. Both shortcuts
will require the user to logon using their PCGenesis logon credentials.
Add required PCG shortcuts to server desktop:
PCGenensis print spooler administration: K:\PCGIcon\
PCGenensis print queue: K:\PCGIcon\
Add required PCG shortcuts to workstation desktop:
PCGenensis print queue: K:\PCGIcon\
A1.11. Full Backup of K:\ for PCGenesis
Because the VerraDyne Print Manager utilizes SQL Server Express for the print queue database, school
districts must stop the VerraDyne Queue Service and theSQL Express service prior to running a full
backup of the K:\ PCGenesis disk drive or else the backup will not run to completion. If the VerraDyne
Queue Service and the SQL Express service are not stopped before running the backup of the K: drive,
the backup will abort because files will be open in SQL Server Express. To solve this problem, the
following commands need to be entered in the command prompt for Windows or added to the backup
bat file to stop the services:
NET STOP VQueueService
NET STOP MSSQL$SQLEXPRESSPCG
After the backup has completed, the following commands can be entered in the command prompt for
Windows or added to the backup bat file to restart the services:
NET START MSSQL$SQLEXPRESSPCG
NET START VQueueService

The PCGenesis Microsoft® Word Print Queue is a powerful feature which allows users to quickly
display and view PCGenesis reports in a readable format in Microsoft® Word. For users who have not
implemented the PCGenesis Word Print Queue, Microsoft® Word macros must be installed on each
user’s individual computer. In order to access the instructions necessary for installing the Microsoft®

A3.2. Expand Claim Account Lines to 20
The number of General Ledger accounts on vendor claims has been increased from 10 accounts to 20
accounts. This enhancement will facilitate entering vendor claims by allowing more general ledger data
to be entered per claim.
A3.3. Allow Purchase Order to Print Up to 20 Account Lines
The number of General Ledger accounts on a vendor purchase order has been increased from 10
accounts to 20 accounts. Because up to 20 account lines may now be entered per purchase order, there
is a slight change in the way purchase orders are printed.
Today, PCGenesis always prints the general ledger account lines on the last page of the purchase
order. Now, to include all 20 account lines, some accounts may be printed on the next-to-last page of
the purchase order. The way the purchase order prints depends on the number of inventory lines and the
number of account lines as detailed below:
• If there are 10 account lines or less, all accounts will be printed on the last page of the purchase
order.
• If there are 10 account lines or more, the accounts will print on the next-to-last page and the last
page of the purchase order.
• If there are more than 20 accounts lines, but less than 27 inventory lines, then the remaining
accounts lines will be printed on the second page of the purchase order even though no inventory
lines are left to be printed on the second page.

C9. Clean Up K:\SECOND\#xxxPRT Step Action
1 Verify all users are logged out of PCGenesis.
2 Open Windows® Explorer.
3 Navigate to the K:\SECOND directory.
4 Remove miscellaneous files in the K:\SECOND\#xxxPRT directories that are not actually
PCGenesis reports. (xxx is the three-character PCGenesis user ID.)
Before, users would sometimes store personal spreadsheets, etc in their print spool directory
in K:\SECOND\#xxxPRT. This causes problems with the VerraDyne Print
Spooler. Therefore, remove ALL #xxxPRT directories that are currently present in
K:\SECOND. Copy these directories somewhere outside of K:\SECOND so that they do not
interfere with the VerraDyne Print Spooler. As users create new PCGenesis reports, the
#xxxPRT directories will be recreated automatically with only valid PCG reports, and then
the VerraDyne Print Spooler will run smoothly.
5 Advise all PCGenesis users to not save any miscellaneous files to the K:\SECOND\#xxxPRT
directories.
